June, 1971 Journal 8. Crew Ranch adjacent to Perry section of Dinosaur National Monu- ment (Uinta Co., Utah. Elevation 5000 ft. June 11-17 field [illegible] on the other, dividing the judes birds one to [cont.] each net, as usual. The [illegible] nets were visited every half hour, or so. The nets were open from 06:15 to 14:30, but I caught no goldfinches; only a few starlings & catbirds, and lots of house finches. In the late afternoon, I moved the nets and the judes birds to the cottonwoods along the Green River west-southwest of Ranch Headquarters, with 2 nets open from 15:45 to 18:30; again no success. I spent the cast hour or so of day light, with nets and birds put away in the car, walking lower Cut Creek, where it traverses the Crew property. Since goldfinches flew over my nets today, I selected net sites for tomorrow that provided perches at net height. At dusk, and finishing in too dark, I set up 5 nets in young cottonwoods and willows (2 nets) and against the green stock dips of a nearly vertical tangle of a blackberry thegle down a slope. Weather June 12: dawn clear, windless, 55° F. Light variable winds to 10:00 until 12:00, then gusty 10-15 mph to dusk. It became entirely overcast by 14:45. Tundra lupes sent me to crew at 16:30. No rain today, but humidity high (sticky) all afternoon & early evening. High temp today about 78°F. June 13, I was awoken at 05:05 by light rain. Despite solid, dark cloud cover, a few birds were singing; mainly Bun. nobins. I opened my nets by 05:20, but there were made too waster being to sun and/or wind after 10:00. I then moved the nets to more wind-sheltered sites along Cut Creek
